Elements of Marxism in Fight Club

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

Certainly, there are elements of Marxism in this movie. Anarchism too, perhaps, but I just like to say kudos to Chuck. An effective criticism in the existing social order that is capitalism. Keep writing for the people! ^_^

I was thinking last night, while drunk, what if Giggan is such a pain in the ass because he really is just tortured, his good-will and conscience, by the hurt and wrong in America, and it's impossible for him to be happy until these problems are fixed and all he can do about it is annoy the complete shit out of people!?

Nah, in his elaborate and rich fantasy life, he's a bad-ass tribal warlord with concubines by the dozen and his own private army of dedicated-to-the-death thugee minions rather than a skinny white boy who would die horribly within hours should his "utopian" vision ever be implemented.

That's how everyone should be but replace "America" with "Earth". If there were less greed and tyranny than plain old simple annoyance, we could maybe be on the track to something better as human beings. There should be armies of annoyance, stationed everywhere on the planet, employed to just annoy people. No weapons. No combat training. Just professional naggers and cunts who annoy people out of sheer torment and disgust. They should annoy government officials, corporate fats and ordinary citizens all the same with no prejudice. Annoy until they become violently victimized, invoking protests of more annoying people, leading to a global annoyance upbringing. Annoy until a news publishing company called 'The Annoying News' starts printing stories about how awful you are. A news station that just tells you you're a horrible cunt who only cares about yourself and your stupid fat family, fucking everyone else's to feed your own. The TV reporters just stare at you and sneer until they cut to the weather lady, who tells you a hurricane is coming and how she hopes it will wipe all you slimy shitheads out with nothing but the utmost blackest of malice.
"Back to you, Richard."
Then they cut back to Richard drinking vodka and he says, "Thanks, Donna(but only because he's trying to fuck her). Now here are some depressing economy numbers that shouldn't even matter," while flipping you off.

This is why every television should have a built in webcam, a hidden cam, and then when Cunt News comes on it's just a picture of YOU, HUMAN BEING, fat and awkward and potato chip eating you, sitting there commenting on how Angelina Jolie isn't as hot as she used to be, and then a shot of you in your underwear trying to wrestle a potato chip from the crack of your couch, and then a clip of you having to shit but not wanting to miss the last eight seconds of BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT. Hurry up, scary spice, I must know what you think of this dorky kid! And then back to Richard P. Nizdik, staring at you with a huge jaw and four heads worth of hair and going, "And now, you fat lazy cunts, here is a giant closeup of Giggan's head!" and then a video of Giggan with an oversized head and he can't get out of his house. He's stuck in there like Ritt predicted, Richard would say, and then a closeup of Ritt, a picture where he's looking up, startled at the camera, but was obviously just in the middle of opening up a garbage can. Maybe to look inside? No one knows. There would always be a fly on the screen during CUNT NEWS and then at the end they would show a video of all the idiots at home trying to swat it off even though it's not real.

I think I disagree, though. More tyranny, more greed; less annoyance. Instead of doing absolutely nothing exciting throughout your entire life and then spending the rest of it trying to look young, just die at a ripe age either rich or thinking you're about to be. Shot while thinking, "All I gotta do is shoot this guy and I'll be rich! I'm gonna buy--" BANG. Rape and pillage. Pillage rhymes with village. It's like we were meant to pillage. And rape rhymes with tape.
